Editor In Chief

Shayna Rogers

Shayna was born and raised in Corvallis, Oregon. She attended Oregon State University with the initial goal of becoming a veterinarian, working part-time as a veterinary assistant for three years. She eventually changed her major to Environmental Science, specializing in law and policy, and set her sights on law school. Shayna has worked with Animal Law Review since her first year at Lewis & Clark, when she received the Source Checker of the Year award. As an Associate Editor during her second year, Shayna co-authored the 2011-2012 Legislative Review article.

Shayna has also clerked for the Oregon Department of Justice and for Davison Van Cleve PC, a local energy law firm. She looks forward to spending her third year as a clinical intern with the Lewis & Clark Legal Clinic.

In her free time, Shayna enjoys reading, vegan cooking, and being outside. She especially loves spending time with her husband, Ryan, and their cats (who refused to sit for a photograph with their mother).

Managing Editors

Kya Marienfeld

Kya is a second year law student, who came to Lewis & Clark from the beautiful northwoods of Minnesota to study environmental law. She earned her B.A. in History and Environmental Geoscience from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. She joined Animal Law in her first year as a volunteer source checker, and is very excited to be back in a much busier capacity as a Managing Editor for Volume 19! Last summer, she worked as a law clerk for the non-profit environmental law firm, Advocates for the West, in Boise, Idaho. After law school, she would like to work in environmental litigation in either the Mountain West or back in the great state of Minnesota. When she’s not hanging out with her wonder-mutt, Fly, or trying unsuccessfully to get cell service while working in the Animal Law office, she is a legal writing TA, a Project Coordinator for the Northwest Environmental Defense Center, a lifelong canoeist, and a rabid St. Louis Cardinals fan.

Hannah McCausland

After graduating from Miami, she spent six months working at a no-kill animal shelter before driving across the country to start law school in Oregon.

This past summer, Hannah worked at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ as an extern in the 355th Fighter Wing JAG office. In her spare time she loves to go for walks with her dog, Rhys, and relax with her husband, Johnathan, and their cat, Miles.

Business Editor

Wynn Heh

Wynn is a 2L originally from the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan area. She is a devoted inter-disciplinarian studying international, IP, and environmental law, but is usually better known for her knack for technology and powers of infomancy. Her free time is distributed between computers, crafts, and her cat. It is somewhat embarrassing that she has named all her electronic peripherals but has not bothered to name her cat. In her defense, however, the cat is perfectly capable of functioning without a name—unlike the electronics.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, she does not live in the ALR suite.

Legislative Review Editor

Kimberly White LaDuca

Kimberly is a third year student who relocated from the East Coast in order to study environmental law. She earned her B.A. at the University of Maryland, College Park with a joint focus in Psychology and Government & Politics. Prior to coming to law school, Kimberly served in Americorps in an inner-city school and became increasingly interested in the connection between health and sustainable agriculture and in the overall disproportionate environmental impacts facing low income communities. During law school she has interned at Crag Law Center and this past summer she worked as a law clerk for the Pacific Northwest Advocacy Center (PEAC). In her free time she loves exploring all the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Andrew and relaxing with her cat, Olive.
